Mass Effect Executive Producer Introduces New Squadmate

In celebration of amassing 10,000 twitter followers, Casey Hudson released an image of one of the new Squadmates you’ll have along with you on your final journey as Shepard. His name is James Vega, an alliance marine, and he certainly fits that burly macho marine stereotype.

Not much is know about him, but according to the May 2011 issue of Game Informer, his character is meant to embody the mindset of a new player, as he is an excellent solider. Though, he is unaccustomed to the delicate politics and intense situations that Shepard is often apart of. Love him or hate, he’s here to stay. What are your guys first impression?
